This delicious spaghetti dish is made on the stovetop, tossed in a creamy, but not overly heavy garlic white sauce, along with seasoned juicy chicken strips. Topped with parmesan cheese.

Ingredients
 

  • 16 oz spaghetti noodles cooked per package instructions

Chicken

  • 2 chicken breasts halved length wise
  • 2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 2 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp pepper

Sauce

  • 6 tbsp butter
  • 7-10 cloves garlic minced
  • ½ cup white wine
  • 1 cup half & half
  • 1 tbsp reserved pasta water
  • 1 cup parmesan
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp pepper

Instructions
 

  • Cook pasta according to package instructions making sure to reserve 1 tbsp of the pasta water.
  • Season both sides of the chicken breasts with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  • Heat a skillet over medium heat. Drizzle with oil. Cook the chicken breasts until it is cooked through. Chicken is fully cooked when the internal temperate is 165℉. Once cooked, set chicken aside.
  • Add butter to the same skillet. Once melted, add garlic. Cook until garlic is fragrant - avoid browning or burning garlic.
  • Add the white wine. Scrape the bottom of the pan to incorporate all the flavors left from cooking the chicken.
  • Add the half & half and reserved pasta water. Bring to a boil. Season with salt & pepper.
  • Add cooked spaghetti noodles to the sauce. Toss to coat. Add parmesan cheese. Toss to coat again.
  • Top with sliced, cooked chicken. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Substitution notes:
  • Italian seasoning - use oregano and/or basil instead
  • white wine - use chicken broth instead
  • half & half - for a creamier and heavier sauce, use heavy cream
  • chicken breast - use chicken thighs or dark meat chicken instead.
